I recently purchased Clio Trophy Number 384 which had its first service last year at 8.5k miles. Its now just turned 19k.

Should I service it at 20k or wait until it hits 24k?

My general feeling is to do it at 20k but then I would have to do the aux belts etc at 32k.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

if your not overly keen to do the full service as like you have stated the aux belt would be due earlier, you could always look at doing an oil change now, giving it 5k of running then doing the full service come 24k.

a lot of people on here do an extra oil change half way between service intervals to keep the engine sweet. Also if the the last oil change was when it was serviced at 8.5k then would be worth changing the oil now.

I was in a similar situation with my 182.
It was serviced @ 7800 & then 12 months was up showing 13,000ish miles.

I just had the service done with Ren-Tech, peace of mind was worth the additional cost.
